Invasive species are a huge issue for the Hawaiian Islands. Many of the islands native plants and animals evolved in isolation for thousands of years, adapting to an environment free of large predators and competition with alien invaders. With increased human populations (and all that they bring with them), Hawaiian ecosystems are being invaded by aliens from other places. Your job is to investigate one such alien inveader, the Coqui Treefrog. Where did it come from? What damage is it doing, and what on earth are the Hawaiians going to do about it?
